Based on actual events about the harsh realities of teenagers living life in a group home (where over 100,000 American juveniles live each year). The story: Roy, a new kid and artist from the suburbs is tested by Daryl, the group home leader and his military style rules, a forbidden romance with Laura, his streetwise and reactionary roommate, and his own troubled past as he tries to survive until 'graduation day'. In the end, only his art can save his dreams of love, hope and freedom.
Reviews
Great Film overall
Blistering performances.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
